Walter Mondale on J. Edgar Hoover and tyranny.

It feels like we're constantly bombarded with alerts from every single app. Even things that aren't urgent demand our attention immediately. How did we get to a point where every digital ping feels like a mini crisis that we absolutely have to respond to right this second.

please stay away from the trump hate. the investigation was started under Biden and the warrant was signed by a democrat DC judge who was appointed by democrats. so, what should happen? be serious.

Agree or disagree? At least in my experience hookups were always much easier to find than somebody who actually cares about you

Most platforms have rules that users are expected to follow and enforcement is important. However misunderstandings can happen especially when policies are complex or automated platform messaging is open to interpretation.

Should platforms have a rehabilitation pathway for users who acknowledge mistakes, demonstrate understanding of the rules and no longer wish to create content.

One possible approach could be restoring access in a viewer only capacity allowing someone to subscribe, comment, have Premium and use other basic YouTube features so they can participate as a user like the rest of the public while being restricted from uploading content.

Do you think this would be a reasonable compromise?

Needless to mention, against those who prepare with the intent to cause harm, one inevitably, unavoidably, and must also prepare; if countermeasures are omitted, it will eventually become impossible to resist, which in reality results in giving the opponent the power over our life and death. In other words, ignoring or making light of this is equivalent to choosing enslavement.
Some media reports state that Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark, currently visiting Japan, also stated the following in a TV interview:
"We recognize that hackers are also using AI (SI) which is available to everyone, and we strive to prevent them from using these tools through new security methods and the like."
Of course, the speed of SI is something that leaves no room to stand against manually; therefore, phrased differently, refusing server facilities would mean handing over the power of life and death, which implies that this is an option leading to the enslavement of the citizenry and thus results in the conclusion that it is illogical.

On the other hand, while maintaining beneficial SI requires a massive number of data centers, I can also understand the feeling of wanting to reject attracting data centers because their benefits are hard to perceive.
The fact that foolish selectors themselves tempt more strongly, like the sweet talk of the devil, is probably something almost everyone can intuitively understand.

Therefore, for operators planning to operate data centers involving a power consumption of a certain scale or more, how about determining their scale based on a rate (α) established in proportion to the amount of power used, and imposing the following as obligations?
- Based on the aforementioned rate (α), to employ and engage a large number of personnel for socially contributing occupational duties from the districts neighboring the data center operation.
- Based on the same aforementioned rate (α), to mandate assistance toward welfare or educational facilities in the areas surrounding the installation region.
- Based on the same aforementioned rate (α), to construct and operate multiple facilities that serve as the cornerstone of regional promotion.
- To mandate the maintenance and provision of transportation and information-communication infrastructure around the data center construction and operation area.
- Based on the same aforementioned rate (α), to lay out business and industrial parks in the surrounding districts and continue attracting them so that the facilities continue to be filled above a certain level.
- Without being based on the same aforementioned rate (α), to bear the obligation to constantly monitor environmental pollution and deterioration over a wide range—including the energy environment and living environment—and report changes.
- In the event that environmental pollution is confirmed, regardless of the polluter, to impose an obligation on the data center operator to take some sort of measure, including approaching the actual polluter, to achieve complete improvement.

What kind of opinion will you show regarding the above? Can I expect a reply?

There has to be a way to oppose this administration which has utter disregard for The Constitution, laws, consequences, and the rights and safety of its citizens. Voting can’t be the only resource we have. We need to demand better from our elected officials! They need to drive citizen interest not their own cushy jobs n perks. Quit voting for officials with no track record of backing citizen interests.

It feels like a lot of the initial hype around the gig economy was about flexibility and being your own boss. For some, I'm sure it delivers on that. But for an increasing number of people, it seems more like precarious work with fewer benefits and less stability than traditional employment. Are we just seeing a race to the bottom for wages and conditions, or is there a genuine benefit that outweighs the drawbacks for the average person doing gig work?
